If you are missing any of their sold out vintages in your vertical flight, you can now fill the gap. They are offering the following wines, at $85/bottle:

Winery Tasting NotesGARRISON CREEK CELLARS 2007 Zinfandel Walla Walla ValleyZinfandel is a relatively rare variety in Washington vineyards; this 2007 vintage is our second from our estate vineyard, Les Collines. Our winemaking goal for this wine was to showcase the bright berry fruit that is characteristic of Zinfandels, and then add warm, spicy notes with barrel aging. We aged this vintage in new French oak barrels for 19 months, and then bottled it at the end of May 2009. A year and a half of bottle aging followed, and the resulting wine has a very pleasing, full finish.
Cases produced: 150Vineyard: Les CollinesRelease date: December 2010Barrel aging: 19 months new French oakAlcohol: 15.4% by volume
Winemaker notes: Generous notes of raspberry and strawberry jam in the nose; a medium-full, supple body is balanced by firm acidity, making it a versatile wine to pair with fine meals.Price per Bottle: $55Case: $594 (reflects 10% case discount)
Cheers!

It was my pleasure to accept an invitation to review the new perfumes of Fragrances of Wine. Fragrances of Wine is a line of custom perfumes based on the scents found in white, rose', red and sparkling wines. Perfume and wine are certainly two subjects I appreciate.

Perfume/Eau de parfum is one of the UAE’s key industries – outside of oil, gas and dates. Their perfume manufacturing industry is largely centered in Dubai. A wealth of perfume shops with brands like YAS and Ajmal, among many others, can be found in the malls and shops of Abu Dhabi. Before I lived in the UAE I’d be pressed to say I truly appreciated cologne or perfume. In 2009 it became a new passion.

Prosser, Washington is a small town with a population of about 5,500 in the lower Yakima Valley. To the west, Mount Adams commands the horizon along with the Yakima River as it flows through Prosser to the Columbia River.

A quiet, friendly town, it is the county seat of Benton County with a vibrant agricultural based economy. I've always been struck by the small town vibe I feel walking along the tree-lined streets. It feels comfortable and familiar, a place to relax and unwind. My first memories of Prosser are warm and sunny, of sitting in the car as a child with my mother, listening to Paul Harvey on the radio. It is also where Washington Wine began. It's almost as if we grew up together.

With 35 wineries plus one distillery, Prosser is surrounded by vineyards, apple and cherry orchards, hops, mint and row crops. Prosser is within the Yakima Valley AVA, the first American Viticultural Area established within Washington Stat…

It was almost impossible to review this wine. My wife kept taking the bottle.

Reviewing the Delille Cellars 2015 Chaleur Blanc white wine was challenging. I should mention that I first reviewed the 2015 vintage in October of 2016. Loved it then too. This time, I thought I'd share with my wife while I was taking notes. Mistake? Before I knew it, half the bottle was gone, and I was only just started on my notes!

"Truly a Northwest classic!"
I had to hide the bottle just to save some wine for my day two notes and for photographs. She loved the Chaleur Blanc! Note to self, "Delille Cellars Chaleur Blanc is now one of my wife's favorite wines. Don't forget."
